Maxim is a Minsk resident. Has a higher education. The man is divorced. He once worked as a security guard, later as a builder. Then he opened an individual entrepreneur and erected monuments in the cemetery. I've been unemployed lately.

Friends recall that Maxim served his military service in one of the Minsk “special forces” units.

Maxim is accused of blowing up a police car near the Central District Department of Internal Affairs.

The incident happened on the night of January 7-8, 2022, not far from the building of the Central District Department of Internal Affairs of Minsk. A criminal case has been opened for blowing up a car under Article 289 (repeated act of terrorism).

Investigators later added that on the night of January 13, he allegedly damaged the Tabakerka kiosk and a trash can in the same way.

On May 26, 2023, the appeal was considered and the verdict entered into force.

Sentences

Trial outcome 30.03.2023
15 years of imprisonment in colony under enhanced security conditions, 200 basic values fine.
Appeal 26.05.2023
unknown.

Once the sentence takes effect, you can only write letters to the prisoner. Under Art. 85 of the Penal Code of Belarus, convicts cannot receive money transfers from anyone other than close relatives. Parcels are also only possible from relatives. If you want to help, support the family directly if this option is available on the prisoner's page.
